“I support the creation of a third Congressional District to ensure our growing Latino community is appropriately represented in Washington. Over the past decade, the number of Latino New Yorkers grew by 8.1 percent, reaching over 2.3 million in 2010. Latinos now account for 28.6 percent of the city’s population. The creation of this new congressional district is the best way to ensure the diverse voting interests of New York City are represented in Congress.”
